Fabian Cowdrey, the latest member of the Cowdrey clan, is charged with continue the family's great cricketing traditions. Son of Chris and grandson of the late Lord Colin, Fabian must contend with considerable expectancy from the Kent public as he seeks to make the grade.

Cowdrey teamed up successfully with Daniel Bell-Drummond at the top of the order in T20 cricket in 2013, scoring 152 runs in five innings at an average of 38, including a maiden half-century against Surrey at the Oval. The former Tonbridge School student then broke into the Spitfires YB40 side and, on his List A debut, he blasted 52 off just thirty balls to underline his natural talent.

Progress was limited in 2014, with a sprinkling of opportunities in the Championship side bringing scant reward, although he did gain a decent grounding in 50-over cricket which looked sure to hold him in good stead.
